    It's no use asking or telling him or her to stop, you have to think about why they do what they do. And in fairness we all do drugs, some are ok, some are bad and some are actually quite good for you, eg herbal drugs.

    Anyhoo, you can't take something away from someone, with their co-operation unless you have something else to replace it with. For example, I knew a guy who was doing great work in London getting Herion addicts to smoke lots of Marajuana instead, subsitute something really bad for something ok.

    I have no idea what your friend might exchange for his drug habit...but have a think about it..

    and good luck.

    you can't force him to stop, but you can make it clear that he has your full support and encouragement to stop and you will help him through it!

    You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

    Bob - I have to disagree, you dont want some young bloke whos experimenting with drugs to end up in jail, and come out a fully blown criminal junky do you?

    I think you should perhaps talk to his parents...first step anyways if he wont listen I think thats a good start...
